Demes Still Climbing

Brandon Demes has been building and building and building his chip stack today. Despite minor setbacks along the way, he shows no signs of stopping. Demes was on the button for a hand against Pontus Kers. Kerus opened for 40,000 preflop with only Demes calling.

The dealer produced a flop with two Broadway cards, {3-Clubs} {J-Spades} {K-Hearts}. Kers bet 50,000 and Demes quickly called. Both players checked the {2-Diamonds} turn, bringing them to the {10-Clubs} river. Kers led out for 100,000. Again Demes quickly called.

Kers: {5-Clubs} {5-Spades}, a pair of fives
Demes: {K-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}, a pair of kings

"Not the river I wanted," said Demes with a smile as he collected the pot to increase his count to 1.23 million.

"It was the worst river for you," Kers agreed, a hint of bitterness in his voice. He has slipped down to 420,000.
